The Real Dr. Science

Do demand side economics apply here? At any given time there are only so many people that are going to want to buy a DVD player at a given price. If resellers flood the market with DVD players the people that are going to buy a DVD at the given price will go buy it. People who think the price is too high will just wait until the price is lowered. Each seller will be forced to keep lowering the price to undercut the price of their competitor to get rid of additional units.

Sounds like a good way to get screwed. Since technology stuff is devalued so quickly as new technology comes along, have to sell quick and low or you will lose what (if any) profit you could have hoped to have earned.

Turns out it was a mistake, and they did retract one of the rebates... but a clerk called corporate headquarters and they stated that they would honor both as they came in. In short, the deal was only "online" for a couple hours this morning".

They have to honor the original deal anyway - to not would constitute fraud.
